-This invention relates to an anti-glare shield particularly adapted foruse on automobiles for eliminating the glare of light coming to anautomobile in which it is stalled.

It is an object and purpose of the present invention to provide a verysimple construction of anti-glare shield which is very easily applied tothe windshield or back window of an automobile for intercepting theglaring 1 rays of light coming from headlights, atthe front or rear, ofother automobiles, fromable in many instances.

An understanding of the invention'may be had from the followingdescription taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, inwhich,

Fig. 1 is an elevation illustrating one form of the anti-glare shieldattached at the rear side of a windshield glass and showing, in dottedlines, some of the positions to'which the shield may be readilyadjusted.

Fig. 2 is an enlarged horizontal section substantially on the plane ofline 2-2 of Fig. 1, and

Fig. 3 is a fragmentary elevation showing a different form ofconstruction of the shield attached to the glass.

parts in the different figures of the drawings.

The glass, indicated at 1, to which the antiglare shield may be appliedmay be any glass in an automobile body, such as the wind shield, or rearwindow. The anti-glare shield includes a section 2, of flat coloredcelluloid preferably, though the shield may be of any of sheet metal ispermanently secured extending almost the full width of the shield. Theedge of the shield is located between the legs of the U-shaped clipwhich are permanently secured in any desired manner. The clip;

and the shield are slotted lengthwise of the chp, as indicated at 4,making an elongated a 1 slot as'fully as shown in Fig. 1. y

A rubber suction cup 5 is'used with this construction. in which the headof a screw threaded stud 6 is embedded, the shank extending from thesuction cup. The shank may be passedthrough the slot 4. and a bind 1 ingnut 7 threaded on its outer end, whereby the anti-glare shield may besecured in fixed relation to the suction cup 5. The suction. cup

same whereby the cup is held by air pressure a on the glass.

i The anti-glare shield 2 is adjustable to an indefinite number ofdifferent positionsabout the axis of the stud 6, and on the stud 6 byreason of the elongated slot 4 through which the stud passes. In Fig. 1some of these positions are indicated in dotted lines through a greatmany others obviously may be occupied by the anti-glare shield.

"In Fig. 3 a somewhat different form of the invention is shown. Theanti-glare shield 2a 7 h fth U-h d1"3't h d Like reference charactersrefer to like as one 0 e S ape c lps a eac en secured thereto and a stud6 witha suction cup 5 is used with each of the clips 3 passing throughthe slots 4 and receiving the clamping nuts 7. This shield may beadjusted to any number of vertical positions within the range permittedby the slots 4:.

The construction while of simple character is very practical and useful,may be manufactured at a very low cost, is readily attached to the glassof an automobile and may be quickly and easily shifted and adjusted to adesired position after attachment without removing the suction cups. Theinvention is I defined in the appended claim andis to be consideredcomprehensive of all forms of structure coming within its scope.

I claim:

An anti-glare vision shield adapted to be attached to the Windshield ofan automobile comprising, a section of colored celluloid or the likehaving a U-shaped clip fastened thereto at opposite ends thereof, saidclips being of relatively short length whereby they leave anunobstructed field of Vision along the sides of the section and alsoabove and below the end portionsther'eof, vacuinncups, adapted fordetachable connection to the Windshield, located near the said clips andmeans for ad justably connecting the said clips to tlie'said cups forthe purposes described.
